Bullying:  Bully No More


I was listening to this guy's experiences as a kid in the locker room.  The fact that his coach knew and didn't do anything about it is atrocious.  What is wrong with people?  Who knows the evil that lurks in men's hearts.  There are children that commit suicide because of bullying.  Be courageous and stand up for someone who can't.

Louisa May Alcott

Little Women


This book is an enjoyable classic.  It is a long book but that still did not keep me from reading it several times through when I was younger.  Recently a movie came out with a modern twist.

The story is about four sisters who interfere and rejoice in each others lives when the moments appear.  One of the sisters is Jo March who is a writer.  Writers are a special breed because they live to write even when that means they are not making money from it.  Think of starving artists...  Many writers struggled for years before they became bestsellers.  Jo March is also a tomboy.  I identify with her because I was a tomboy when I was younger.  I used to hang out with my brother and his friends.  We used to have a lot of fun playing outdoor sports.  I think it took me a long time to grow up.  I would have liked remaining a kid forever.

John

8:7


When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 

The more technologically advanced we become the more mudslinging occurs especially during elections.  Have you noticed that?  During elections people who are generally of good behavior begin saying the most awful things about each other.  And then when the elections are over life goes on and they are civil again.  Why is it that we reduce ourselves that way?

A long time ago a woman was dragged through the streets because she had committed adultery.  Her accusers stood ready to stone her.  However this verse was said and the accusers let their stones drop and walked away one by one.  Why?  Because they had committed the same sin.  Everyone sins however not all of us are exposed to the public scrutiny that certain political figures and celebrities have.  Being in the limelight has its downfalls.  If your entire past was put on the front page of a newspaper how would you feel?  Are you without sin?  Have you never done anything wrong?  Ponder this!

Life Without Limits


Everybody has good days and everyone has bad days.  However some people overcome challenges that others will never have to face.  If you were to walk in someone else's shoes for a day what do you think it would be like?  Life is what you make it and only you can make it what it is.  You can be bitter or you can be amazing!  So choose to be amazing!

When Is It Right To Die?


If you are ever in a life changing accident how would you choose to handle it?  Some go on and live amazing lives while others choose death over life.  Some people can't deal with a life less than what they were used to.  Remember the movie, Me Before You?  It was actually inspired by a rugby player that made that decision.  However then you have people like Joni that lives her life as she is.
